Warm and fed today but tomorrow brings uncertainty for East Chicago's homeless

On Wednesday evening around 7, when temperatures were falling far below freezing, Michael Brothers headed toward a McDonald’s restaurant in East Chicago, Indiana to stay warm. But the restaurant, like most businesses in the area, had closed. "I was going to be one of those people frozen, seen outside -- they made a story about him on social media," Brothers said who dreaded staying in the cold much longer. As Brothers would soon find out, a group of concerned citizens had opened a makeshift, 24-hour shelter inside a cafeteria of St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church in East Chicago.
